One of the important factors to have in mind when playing Lost Ark is the DPS (Damage Per Second) character. The good thing is that Lost Ark has plenty of classes that can be used as such. The problem is that with all these options and different playstyles, you can find it difficult to choose between one character and another.
If you like close combat, hitting enemies quickly, and a character that displays splendid aerial combos, then the Striker class is a good fit for you. This specialization knocks foes with fast-paced movements.
In this guide, you will learn about this advanced class and how to use this class in Lost Ark.
The Martial Artist Class is the main class you have to choose if you want to become a Striker. This class is well known for hitting hard and striking even faster. Fast movement is on their side, and they fight using a lot of skill in successive combos.
A Martial Artist attacks enemies in a blink of an eye with a spinning kick and then punches the next one. This character has four advanced classes that you can select, and each one of them can deal great damage to both groups and single foes. Some of these classes offer:
Elemental attacks.
Heavy hits (like the knee attack).
Combined melee and ranged attacks.
If you like to inflict damage in close combat and colorful attacks, then the Martial Arts class is for you. These characters are great for battle in PvP with standard builds. They are also useful for PvE, but other classes may have better performance in this matter.
The Lost Ark Striker class is one of the four advanced specializations the Martial Artist can choose. The path of the Striker is limited to physical skills and the use of powerful kicks and gauntlets on their fists. They use a lot of combos in both the ground and the air, sometimes mixing both.
The Striker has three best skills that essentially are the build of a good striker:
Esoteric Skill: Tiger Emerges: Obtained at level 14. This skill allows the striker to gather energy and strike forward. The attack consists of doing two direct hits and then an upward attack that resembles a tiger. This last attack deals medium damage, and it’s great for staggering enemies.
Moon Flash Kick: The Striker can obtain this skill starting on level 10. It allows you to push forward when you're facing a crowd of enemies. The attack begins with a fast push towards the enemy and unleashing a blue force with your leg. After that, thousands of flurry kicks start dealing damage per kick to the enemies. As you upgrade, you can even make four consecutive attacks.
Storm Dragon Awakening: The skill is obtainable at level 12. It hits enemies with a sweeping kick, a powerful kick, and lastly a spinning back kick. You see, this skill is used to control crowds and finish demons off quickly.
Of course, there are other Striker skills that can be part of a good Striker build.
